About this work

This sketch shows a quiet harbor scene with small boats tied up along the shore. The water looks choppy, drawn with quick, wavy lines. In the background, there are simple buildings with sloped roofs, and more boats float near the docks. The artist used lots of tiny, crisscrossed lines to build up dark and light areas. This technique makes the boats and water look textured, even though it’s just pencil on paper. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
